“My favorite survival game. Sandbox or Story, custom or preset difficulty. Stunning atmosphere, music, and that perfect sense of isolation. Also, SO excited for the sequel.”

“Yeah, another plane crash. But this one looks great, has solid building and combat, and fun mechanics. Co-op is a plus—grab a friend and try it. Sequel in the works!”

“Craft, explore, and survive the deadly yet beautiful Caribbean islands. Mechanics are impactful and well-balanced. Smooth sail through development and release.”

“Was hyped for the DLC and didn’t mind paying, but Namalsk did it better. Not enough new content to justify the cost— get it on sale or give it a miss. ”

“Heavily influenced by Green Hell—UI, inventory, and some mechanics. Stuck in the ‘need money for content, need content for players’ loop. I’ll revisit it in Q2 2025 to see if it has improved.”

“I loved this game when it was tough by design. Now it’s just tough to enjoy. 1.0 was less a launch, more a “sorry, this is it” moment.”

“Quirky bushcraft survival with camel mounts, creepy bug AI, and solid building. A fair full release, though some feel it wasn’t fleshed out enough. Decent first attempt for the devs.”

“In 2020, I’d have defended this: simple loop, co-op, steady updates. Now it feels dated: quirks turned frustrating, lack of balance, no updates since ’24. Downgraded from ‘Buy It’ to ‘It exists.’”

“Great in story or sandbox, solo or co-op. Atmospheric and detailed with a lush world, unique non-hand-holdy crafting, and fun building mechanics. Also, you can breed and pet capybaras!”

“Friction-filled and challenging with a top-down view and unique aesthetic. My only gripe? Wish it was first-person for that extra immersion. Otherwise, I love it.”

“Public servers are either amazing RP, chaotic firefights, or a hacker-filled nightmare. Way better with mods (and friends!). Survival is key, big maps shine—modder maps and Livonia are your best bet.”

“A wilderness survival roguelike RPG, known for its deep realism. A passion project decades in the making. I plan to try it, but I need to get past the visuals.”

“Stranded Deep and Raft had a baby—harsher penalties, better realism, and a strong desire to see you drown. Dev is doggedly working on it, though.”

“Everything’s going great—until it’s not! Two thumbs up for Frostpunk, I love me some Society Survival. There’s a sequel, though IMO it leans less toward survival. Hit the link for my wife’s thoughts!”

“Surprisingly fun! Mini maps make for great short play sessions, but when things go sideways, people die. It keeps it interesting.”

“I like it—a lot. While I could nitpick balance and realism (magical fires, anyone?), it’s a solid take on urban survival. Even with the fixed camera… and zombies.”

“Gorgeous game with a fun atmosphere. Kinda hilarious to play because, boy am I bad at sneaking and puzzles! Immersive, I often yelled at the screen in both fun and horror.”

“Minimal survival elements but tons of weird/terrifying ones. Fantastic atmosphere, especially in caves, nightmare-inducing AI movement and visuals, and a story with a twist.”

“Before, I said it had a solid horde night concept and a text-based inventory that grew on me. Still feel that way, but need to revisit. Negative reviews mention paid cosmetics, slow updates, and bugs.”

“I never, EVER complete story games. I completed this story and I loved it. Even the ending! (No spoilers!) It was gorgeous, immersive, and incredibly satisfying to experience and complete. No regrets.”

“The world is entirely destructible, building can get crazy detailed. Decent combat, oddball graphics, minimal survival requirements beyond don't get eaten- primarily base defense. Bring a friend!”
